RE: Steemit is bad at connecting users to relevant content - We need Smart Feeds

in #steemit7 years ago

hey @p0o!!! This post is dead on. Some of us are okay with wading through all kinds of posts to find the gems, but for most users, there needs to be better ways to access content.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, in addition to other UI changes.

Last night, I finally got started coding a chrome plugin that begins to address this with resteems on Profile pages. In the process, I've had some thoughts about how one might go about building more robust infrastructure on TOP of Steemit.com within the browser.

Take a look, I outlined my thoughts here. And I think there are some really creative ways we could work on this, without needing permission from anyone.

Sort:  

That's a very nice addition and you are right, we can start and do it small. By the way, in busy we don't show re-esteems in the blog page and have a different page for it. Take a look: https://busy.org/@itchykitten

oh nice!!! I didn't realize we were on the same chain! Who started busy? Thats super cool

@itchykitten - There are several apps being built ontop of the STEEM blockchain. Steemit.com is only one "Window" into the STEEM blockchain itself. Busy.org is also a tool you can use to look/interact with the STEEM blockchain. You should also check out SteepShot if you have an android or apple phone - search the store for "SteepShot". Its an Instagram like app built on the STEEM blockchain currently in alpha testing.

SteemQ is also on the way - it is a decentralized video hosting site like YouTube built on the STEEM blockchain.

I heard SteemQ was cancelled or something.

No, it is still in development.

Oh! Someone made a post about it saying it was dead. If it is still in development that is so great!!

mmmhmmm....!! curious! That's super cool, I knew there were some different 'portals' in, like chainbb, but I didn't know know the others. That's so wild, that we can have a big blockchain fungal mass buried in our internet, and as many different ways of accessing it as people are willing to build.

SteemQ sounds like it could be really useful. Do you know what they're planning on using for storage?

They are keeping it under wraps, will know more soon. IPFS is also going to be integrated into STEEM.

Who is doing SteemQ and how can I follow the progress?

@furion has been working on SteemQ. He is a well respected fellow from our community.

That's right. Now I remember. Thanks

I'm looking forward to see the result ;)

@fabien and @ekitcho started busy months ago and yes it's a really cool project on the same chain as steemit.

please follow me and reward i'll do the same ...thanks!!!!
